The story behind the bottle.
Eternity For Men Summer 2008 by Calvin Klein was launched in 2008 and crafted by perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Jean-Marc Chaillan. This fragrance is a vibrant aromatic fougère that captures the essence of summer freshness, blending crisp citrus with green grass notes and an earthy base of patchouli and guaiac wood. The composition opens with kumquat and mimosa, adding a bright and zesty character before transitioning to a heart of lavender and green accords. This contrast creates a dynamic scent that feels both invigorating and grounded.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The initial burst of citrus and green notes fades within an hour, but the woody base will linger on skin for several hours. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so layer it sparingly.
